     It seems to me if doing floating point computations in double
precision is SO expensive for your applications, that maybe the
problem isn't with your software (C compiler)  but with your hardware
or lack of it.   If your applications really uses a lot  of floating
point calculations, maybe you should get either a FPA board or
68881 chip that will speed up your floating point calculations.
